Carrera, the worldwide lifestyle and sports eyewear Brand, is pleased to unveil the INSPIRED BY JARED LETO COLLECTION, especially designed for the Academy Award Winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars front man, Jared Leto, the star of the 2017 Carrera campaign.
Recognized internationally as one of the world’s most unconventional talents, Jared Leto has inspired an exclusive two-piece unisex collection that fully embodies the uniqueness of his persona and the nostalgia that ties Jared Leto to Carrera’s history, merging it with the pioneer design language and outstanding quality for which the brand stands, since 1956.
The collection features two legendary and statement shapes, one sun and one optical model, that convey the same attention for forward-looking design and craftsmanship that Jared Leto recognizes in the DNA of the Brand: “I’ve always appreciated beautiful craftsmanship and timeless design. Match that with functionality and technology and you have something very special,” says Leto. “I think all of that is reflected in Carrera. A classic and iconic brand.”

Vivacious graphic elements and beguiling color choices make for models rich in fantasy and energy, while fun, sexy styling adds a final flourish to the whole affair.

Sure to catch the eye, the Betty (DQ0180) model wows with the stunning streak-effect finish that adorns the front section and temples. Indeed, the edges of the front section and parts of the temples are accentuated with transparent elements, which lend a streaked appearance to the acetate.
While clearly paying tribute to the brand’s most iconic sunglasses, these new Grenoble (DQ5172) optical frames assert their own personality through the squared, metal lines that merge into the upper part of the clean, cateye front section in acetate. Retro influences and modern flourishes combine for a timelessly feminine effect.

The Swing collection brings the exuberant popular rhythm of the Forties to some evergreen shapes, a constructional revival of vintage eyewear favorites given new life thanks to modern technology and unmistakable VANNI style.
In the metal version VANNI reinterprets those memorable glasses with their colored brow line, highlighting the top edge of the front in a darker shade of color. To complete the range, there are some broad roundish shapes in bright colors, the rims picked out by the thinnest of Havana sheaths.
In acetate, the women’s shapes are vaguely retro, the men’s broad and comfortable; a dappled based combines with solid transparent monotones, while the brow line is marked by tone-on-tone or contrasting material.

The new Fourth Dimension 4717-19 is a collection of colorful sanded acetate frames based on a unique new way of handling the acetate material.
To make a product, with less material consumption, this project was hatched from the original idea of using cut outs from front production, chopping them up into bits and pieces and mixing them all together again, and then reuse them for temples.
The fronts have rivets as a retro reference, and they are all kept in calm sanded solid colors that complement the multicolor temples.
